The Newontech Pre 08 preamp is an equally straightforward purist affair with two inputs and two outputs. It employs a J-FET op-amp design for the input stage giving an impedance of 100 kOhm which Ole says is an ideal match for the different DAC designs. The volume control is based on Khozmo Acoustic type while the output stage uses another J-FET op-amp which ensures a low impedance of 75 ohm.
